Finite Element Methods in Stress Analysis for Creep

This paper provides an overview of classical and novel solution methods for finite element analysis of creep in structures. The reader is asked to question more thoroughly the accuracy of routine finite element analysis of components subject to creep and to ask whether the resulting solution is indeed meaningful.
